South Summit, a dynamic quintet hailing from Perth, Western Australia, has been making waves in the music scene with their unique blend of sounds and heartfelt lyrics. The band, led by charismatic frontman Isaiah ‘Zaya’ Reuben, has quickly garnered a following with their engaging performances and relatable themes.
The group’s journey began with the release of their debut EP, “Merlin’s,” on January 29, 2021. This initial offering showcased their musical versatility and set the stage for their growing popularity. The EP was well-received, resonating with fans for its authentic storytelling and melodic prowess.
Building on the momentum of their debut, South Summit released a new single, “River Days,” later in 2021. This track marked a significant step in their musical evolution and served as the lead single for their subsequent EP, which was eagerly anticipated by their growing fan base.
2022 proved to be a pivotal year for South Summit. The band expanded their discography with the release of several singles, including “Runaway,” “Tired of Waiting,” and “Promise Me.” Each song further cemented their reputation for crafting music that strikes a chord with listeners, both lyrically and melodically. These singles showcased the band’s ability to evolve and experiment with different sounds while staying true to their core musical identity.
One of the highlights of 2022 for South Summit was their performance at Optus Stadium on May 22, during the pre-game show of the 2022 Sir Doug Nicholls game between Fremantle and Collingwood. This event was particularly significant as it celebrated the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contributions to Australian Rules Football, aligning with the band’s ethos of community and cultural appreciation.
The culmination of South Summit’s recent endeavours came with the release of their latest 7-track EP, “Creatures,” on January 12, 2023. This EP, featuring their four most recently released singles, represents a maturation of their sound and a deepening of their lyrical themes. “Creatures” has been praised for its cohesive narrative and the band’s ability to convey complex emotions through their music.
South Summit’s rise in the Australian music scene is a testament to their talent and dedication. With each release, they continue to demonstrate their ability to connect with audiences through powerful storytelling and compelling melodies. As they continue to grow and evolve, South Summit remains a band to watch, poised to make an even more significant impact on the global music stage.
